Just cracks me up, all the War people have not realized yet that War is so much like Wow it is not even funny.

Going to be a great update.

i played wow for 3yrs. and have been playing war beta for a month now....theres alot of differences.

The 3.0.1 - TBC - USMX patch is now downloadable via the WOW launcher in the background as you play or after you exit.

I have checked fileplanet and a few others and it is not released there yet.  So as to when it will go live I have no idea.  But I have heard possible next week!

WO beta started today...FYI.

Sheesh. All the WoW haters and WAR fanbois is almost making me wish WAR fails. Are there any forums that encourage solid argumentation and constructive discussions these days, or is "game A sux a garden hose" and "game B is the best thing since pie" the pinnacle of MMOG players' evolution?

No, Mythic, relax. I'm still on your side. Go hit that 2 mill subscriber number, please. Just some of your fans (and a lot of Blizzard fans too, btw, and Turbine fans, and...) that really ought to chill. ;-)

I think that, even without the release of Warhammer and other new MMOs, it's a good idea to give some content to players that may want to continue playing but are not necessarily considering getting the expansion.  I always felt they needed to accasionally add pre lvl 60 content for those players levelling yet another alt or for players not interested in BC.

I don't think there is any appeasing going on necessarily.  I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and just assume they're giving something to the players.  I, for one, have probably burnt myself out on that game and probably won't get the expansion.  We'll see if a new MMO can keep me entertained enough to avoid it.

 i am downloading 3.0 now. I am guessing it will go live next tuesday.

Does anyone really think that someone isn't going to buy wraith because they are getting haircuts without the expansion.

The expansion is about 10 new levels, new lands and Death Knights.  The rest of the stuff is fluff that won't make a single person 'not' buy the expansion by giving it to players for free.

This is just a company with 10.9M subscribers (5M in NA and Europe) who doesn't feel the need to hype the expansion.  They know the majority of players are going to buy it because they enjoy WOW.

Nods.  Anything other than new lands, levels and talents isn't expansion material its for the game as a whole.

I don't think patch 3 will be ready by Sept 18 but frankly WoW prints money... they will not risk that to beat WAR to market.  That and WAR is a good MMO, no doubt, but its just another good MMO in a long line of good MMOs.  It will take a great MMO to challenge WoW in the 1 million+ sub game.

i cant wait for this new patch i wanna try the new character customization.

UNinstalled WoW a few days ago. It's done. it's old and repetitive for me and the CSR's don't care. bnet kiddies are the future.

bye Bliz.

Oh and one more thing transfers to PvP servers from PvE servers.

lol bloody noobs. Your pvp servers are the same old boring crap all your pvp is.

WAR Sunday 7:00pm here we come
